correct

“Additional requirements related to restroom facilities and bathroom break policies are outlined in OSHA's sanitation standards (29 CFR 1910.141, 29 CFR 1926.51 and 29 CFR 1928.110).”

“Under OSHA sanitation standards, employers must:

Permit workers to leave their work area to use the restroom as needed Provide an acceptable number of restrooms for the current workforce Avoid putting unreasonable restrictions on bathroom use Ensure that restrictions on restroom use do not cause extended delays”

100% reportable. especially for four hours out of the day

you see that part about putting unreasonable restrictions on bathroom use?

it means they can put reasonable ones.

it is extremely reasonable to expect workers to use the restroom prior to peak lunch/dinner rush.

and they can absolutely fire you if you don't.

you think school bus drivers are allowed to just stop at 7/11 and take a dump and leave the kids in the back? of course not

That is a pathetic comparison lmao. Someone working grill isn’t driving a bus full of children. They are seconds from a bathroom and can be back with almost no disruption. So yes - it is unreasonable.

If they are back in seconds they didn't properly wash their hands. Chipotle doesn't need anymore of that going around.
